i find it sooo hard to shop for my dad, who's not a tech-geek, not fashion fwd (and alrdy has enough ties/cufflinks/belts/watches etc) and doesnt exactly read. so we always just end up having a dinner. mums (and women in general) are so much easier to shop for! even a shopping voucher is appreciated hahha.

on a separate note, i must say that something DEFINITELY needs to be done about shopping in sg. after coming back from the US, i definitely think that our stuff are horrendously overpriced. which will probably explain why it is taking so long for sg to become asia's fashion hub.

anyway, i find that i cant work with people who are simply not practical or grounded when it comes to planning certain stuff. lofty ideas that are out of the box and creative BUT so ludicrous! and the fact that they dont even think about the practicality and refuse to budge just gets on my nerves so badly.
